Jack Russells are great! My parents actually breed them. The only problem that is common for them to have is that they are very hyper! But at the same time they are really loving! The breed was actually created for hunting small animals such as squirrels and rabbits. So the hyperness is natural and nothing to worry about! They are very very funny as well I had one particular pup when i was younger that would run circles around me as i was trying to walk through our yard. LOL they are so funny loving and over all fantastic pets!!

Yes, like any dogs really. I have a jack russell.. he's fine.. but once or twice he does snap at my cat… maybe it's because when he's eating or when my cat scratches him or hurts his bad tooth :S

Lock jaw meaning tetanus or lock jaw meaning can they lock there jaws? No dog can lock there jaws. I know your hear novice dog owners saying pits can lock there jaw but its untrue. Pits are bred to bite and not release, doesn't mean they lock there jaws. So by any means if you were talking about tetanus then yes. Anything can get tetanus.

I am considering adopting a Jack Russell Terrior, and have 2 cats at home. Can they get along?

I love the fact that you are considering adoption. Good for you! Well, You should try it out and see. every dogs behavior to cats is different. the shelters will host a meeting between your current pets and the potential to pet to see if they will get along. is your mind set on a Russell? If not, speak to the shelter adoption counselor and they will help you in the process of picking out a dog that is great for your lifestyle. Even one that will be great with the cats. Quite possibly there will be a great dog there for you that is not a Jack Russell.

I wish you the best of luck! Thanks so much for considering adoption. It really is a rewarding experience.

I like them, but would never want one, they are too smart for their own good.

is the Jack Russell Terrier a breed reconized by the CKC or AKC???
I've been trying to search it but it seems that the jack russell is not a reconized breed. I've noticed tons of people selling them online as CKC or AKC registered but how is that possible???

a few yrs ago, the AKC accepted the Parson Russell Terrier as a new breed…..this is esentially the same dog as a Jack Russell Terrier, yet the JRTerrier clubs would not allow their dogs to go to dog shows as a "beauty pageant" and wanted the dogs to be breed only for their dog traits and not beauty or looks… i believe they did not allow JRT's to be considered a breed to be "shown", yet now the Parson Russell Terrier is a recognized breed by the AKC !!!

My dog Gem is now 10 month, but she was never trained to do her buisness outside! Do you know any methods to help me with her!?

get a doggie door installed, and teach the dog to use it !! ..doggie doors are good for JRT's beause they can out to the back yard, and run the perrimeter and be the GUARD dog, they like to be !!…doggie door's let them come and go, without needing you to be there, and she will learn to go outside for her business, and to get some sun on a nice day also !!..email me, if i can be of further help to you !!

It usually drops below 98 before you can expect pups within 12-24 hours.

i saw this guy with one and it was so adorable. it was 6 years old, but it actually looked like a puppy. it was so small.

If you have not had a dog before I would not recommend a jack russel. They tend to be high strung, yappy and most like to chew and dig. They need a lot of exercise to keep their mind occupied and out of trouble. They are intelligent. They are a true working breed and have strong prey and hunting instincts. They will not hesitate to go to ground or chase any animal smaller than themselves. Most will also have no fear about going after larger animals as well and if not socialized well with other dogs jack russels can be quite dog aggressive. They tend to bond to one owner rather than to a whole family. they can be good with kids if raised with them but can be very protective of them and of their chosen owner and be very possessive. They can be very snappy over treats and toys and are not easily trained to let someone take a toy or morsel away from them. Smooth and broken coats shed and the ruff coat does ot shed too much. Patterdales are similar in size, I personally find them much cuter, and they are actually calmer and nicer dogs around the home than Jack russels even though they can be more game when on the hunt. You may consider the Parson russel. It is basically a ruined version of the Jack russel. By ruined I just mean that it is the kennel club recognized version of the jack russel and it bred to be a toned down pet qualitydog and not working material. However, it is still a terrier and all terriers like to dig and bark and require more work than some other breeds.
.Contrary to what someone else stated, Jacks do not come in two different sizes. Jacks are spanned and this determines the prey they can go after. they are bred for work ability not two specific sizes. A good working jack can be spanned where most Parson cannot. They are too wide because they have not been bred to work they have been bred for looks and color.
